Not in Calgary, but we did 10% even. We could have stretched it and did 15%, but it would have left me a little nervous with my personal cash flow.
It seemed to me at the time that the CMH savings are optimal when you either hit 10% or 20%.
We were a little rushed though as the condo we rented was sold the day it went on the market, and we would have had to have moved to a temporary place (and probably sign a lease), paid rent there plus moving expenses, and then would have had to move again later when we bought a place. Probably could have gotten up to 20% if we had a couple more months.
